In some older house I noticed this beautiful rusty door lock to the basement. Many people would open the door, instead I made an image.
TECH-INFO: I took three bracketed shots. The EXIF data is from the middle exposure. I tried to get as close as possible with my wide angle lens to create depth. Unfortunately the minimum focus distance is 30 cm. From the right a window providing soft blue-ish cloudy-weather light. From the left light from low-energy light bulbs, hanging in the room, which yielded warmer tones. All shots combined in Photomatrix to enhance the structures and texture of the wood and lock.
UPDATE: submitted on Vazaar for the topic Old. And also submitted on Shutterday for the theme Lock and Key.

LightningPaul: Thanks! When using HDR software you get easily tempted into making very surreal and painterly images. Hence HDR probably got the wrong label of "being a technique of producing unreal looking images". I'll hope to change that.
